Stuck

Photo taken December 6, 2012, near Maxwell, TX

Driving to Lockhart on Highway 1966 I saw this old truck parked in the field in front of a storage building. It reminded me of when my Uncle Ed taught me how to drive. We took an old beater pickup out into a field and he let me drive it around to learn how to start, stop and shift the gears. The first day we did it, the field was soft from a recent rain and we got it stuck quite a bit.
